How to upcycle this mirror?

Hi, well I promised to do some thing with this Mirror but had no time. It’s painted already white. I can’t say I am a white person. So do I sand the old paint off with my new sander that I have never used. It came with a broken leg that has been fixed. I don’t know if I want to use it yet but it can be locked . Now I find that very appealing.Any suggestions, brenda 🌺

My wife has the same one, @brendawebster44. Her's is white as well but sanding it back to timber sounds like an idea.

What about a colourful paint job? Something a bit fun and exciting. Maybe some pinstriping or stencil work. I don't know if it's up your alley, but some mandala stencilling on the front frame might look a treat.

I'll be looking forward to seeing what you do with the cabinet.

Hi Mitchell ,what a good idea. Well now I have to decide how to jaz it up. How about some prime undercoating and paint all in one? I will enlist my granddaughter as far as punking it up, thankyou brenda

It's likely best to do the prime separately @brendawebster44, as that way, you'll be able to use various paints and colours over it. Otherwise, you going to have to buy a whole can of paint and prime for each colour, and that would get expensive.

I can't wait to see your results as I know they will be fabulous!
